Folks in Eastwick hate their devil  
Looking rumpled and disheveled  
he materialized one day  
shaking tail and holding sway

Soon thereafter he bewitches  
these three... women, call them ladies  
those grow too big for their breeches  
and the visitor from Hades  
generates all kinds of chaos  
(no, don't call him Asmodeus)

the three ladies and their newborns  
(lacking birth marks, tails -- and no horns!)  
Fine if you will call them witches  
all have fallen into riches

but the folks, they hate their devil  
any one of of them will level  
and they do have stuff to tell  
Eastwick, they'll say, gone to hell.
